Thanks Fractal Trader. Must-see topic, Wendy1946 again regurgitates the ridiculous lie (which appeared in a tabloid in India) that Neandertal was halfway between us and a chimp. That silly fiction also recognizes that chimps, Neandertal, and living humans have a common ancestor.The Neandertal EnigmaFrayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127] |
